Really never used A or S? I use them for jumping to the next credit Title for expanding and contracting but that's in a very specific repetitive proceedure. When it comes to real editing I'm more a lasso or hit the trim button type. Next time you have to extend each credit page 3 frames to fill 30 seconds try the "S" and left side trim button it will change your life for the better. I've even incorporated it into Quick Keys sequence on occasion.

If you want to go to an edit point without going in to trim, then use FFWD and REW buttons. I have them mapped to my TAB and SHIFT TAB key.
For going IN to trim, either use the trim mode button or lasso. Or simply select the exact transition/edit points and go into trim mode with the MODE button.
For getting OUT of trim mode, just mouse click on the timecode track or use the Source/Record editing button.
That's my way of doing it… may not work for everyone. But in 25 years, I've never used the A or S key.

I'm sure I have some setting enabled (or dis-enabled) that is causing this, but I can't find it anywhere, and look to the L-2 for help.Often I'll have only the tracks I want to trim selected. Then I hit either 'A' or 'S' (depending which direction on the timeline the desired cut is) to enter Trim Mode. But then, completely unwanted, MC will add a bunch of tracks I did NOT have previously selected to the total tracks now engaged in Trim Mode. Maddening. This has the effect of often sending me to some other place in the Timeline far from where I'm working.That or it's nearby, and I have to go through and deselect the tracks I don't want. What am I overlooking here? It's part of the same frustration I have when exiting Trim Mode only to have MC throw me all the way back to the beginning of the entire sequence. Why not just be able to exit Trim Mode and stay where I'm working?Do I have something awry in my Settings? Or is this just common, workaday MC behavior?Thanks,DD
